Bus Tours to Anchorage, Alaska

Bus Tours to Anchorage, Alaska
The city of Anchorage in Alaska is a delightful mixture of contradictions. It is known both as the "City of Lights" and the "City of Flowers," both in winter and summer, because of the surrounding wilderness of mountains and glaciers, and the urban streets framed by high rise buildings.

Anyone looking for an adventurous vacation will surely enjoy traveling to Anchorage, Alaska, and partaking in the area's recreational activities. Tourists and seasonal travelers have the option to travel by air, but some prefer to travel by land. Another great option for land farers is a bus tour to Anchorage, Alaska.

Alaska Timberwolf Day and Sleeper Coaches

Bus companies may offer affordable rates for traveling by bus, but the seats are not as comfortable as the accommodations in day and sleeper coaches, which are spacious and have a private bathroom and toilet.

Modified buses, called coaches, have been refurbished with long foam seats covered in vinyl, ceiling lights, vinyl shades on windows, stereo and TV, a microwave, a coffeemaker and a refrigerator. These bus tour vehicles can seat more than 25 people traveling in style and comfort.

The narrated coach tour of Anchorage will take about three to five hours. Lunch will be at the Sourdough Mining Company, a replica of an old millhouse. Please call or e-mail for rates. Rates do not include driver gratuity.
